I am an MD and pre - COVID, used to rotate at various hospital locations - county, community, University and private. I carried my LV mostly ( monogram and DE patterns) but would also switch it up for a
Coach, MK backpack or Dooney purse for the days at the County hospital (patient population dynamics) or community clinic (shared office space with people I was unfamiliar with). These days, I am usually at the university for shorter days and also have a virtual clinic (due to COVID - btw, I love WFH), so bags aren’t being worn as much, although they continue to get acquired, lol!
Moving forward, I would like to get the most use out of my LV’s and other similar designers to justify cost and enjoy them ( I do love them and as they say, life is short!) I also have worn out my contemporary totes / back pack as well and don’t think I want to re-buy to serve their previous purpose, would rather go for choices that are less conspicuous.
Also, no comments about my bags from work colleagues (at least in my presence), mostly “looks”. However, when my mono NF was still very brand new, one rainy day, I got a cover to protect the vachetta and my co- worker said “you need a cheap cover to protect your expensive bag?” I couldn’t be bothered to explain the issue of vachetta and water spots, so just said something to the effect of “ ikr, first world problems!”
Great thread!
Most of my fellow scientists do not show an ounce of interest in fashion let alone luxury fashion. I carry my bags just about everywhere else though!
